Sometimes the simplest things are the best. If you think about it there is a certain genius behind getting a person who knows an historical event or person back and forth get them rip roaring drunk then sit them down to tell the story. Of course film them while they are doing this and build a whole Comedy Central series around it. Derek Waters is the man behind this madness and the laughs while you are learning stuff are a whole lot of fun.
